Whole on the police organization bill,

Consideration Of Section continued
from yesterday.
Noble Baldwin thought the Supreme
Court ought TO have voice in the APP

shall He believed in one man power
so far as practicable and if the man
does not carry out the laws of the
country, let him 90 out. He agreed
with other members that there ought
TO be proper superintendent and that
could only be had by one man having
charge, subject to the laws. He was
sorry TO hear from one member the eX-
preston of the opinion that this bill
was to remove a Hawaiian and put a
white man in his place. He was in

competent. But competency was the

Noble Castle gave reasons for sign
ing the minority report. The Hon.
Noble referred to the fact that the COM
mittee were unanimous in their recon-
mendations except in the single matter
of the power of removal of the Marshal.
The members who opposed the bill
seemed to have an idea that we are
legislating for the evil and not for the
good. Much was made of the idea that
this bill would place power in the
hands, some day, of some scoundreI

who is the Marshal of the Kingdom to
be responsible to? Shall he be re-pOn-
sible to the head of the department of
which he is an officer? That is the
question that is to be decided by the
House to-day. The Marshal has duties
TO perform for both the Supreme Court
and the Acknowledgement. The mat
tiers pertaining to the Judiciary De-
partment and the Attorneys General.
to be attended to by the Marshal, are
separate and distinct. The Marshal
might perform his duties for the SUI
preme Court satisfactorily, and, at the
same time, he might have notions of
his own regarding the police that
would bring him into collision with
the Cabinet, and thereupOn bring the
Cabinet and Supreme Court into col
lision. He had no great fear from the
Capitalization of power idea MAIN
tanned by other members.
Noble Townsend gave an illustration
of the present system. Surprising that
he, the speaker, and Noble Smith, en-
gagged one man for manager of two
plantations, and he discovered that
the manager was attending to Mr..
Smiths all right, but neglecting his.
